Ingredients you will need

Avocado

Avocados may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer and, being high in oleic acid, may also help to prevent breast cancer. They contain more of the carotenoid lutein than any other commonly consumed fruit. Lutein protects against macular degeneration and cataracts, two disabling age-related eye diseases. Eating avocados may also lower your cholesterol levels and, as an excellent source of glutathione, they even contain antiaging properties.
